Man oh man this was a fantastic experience watching this. My grandsons love to watch these videos with me. I usually preview and then we watch them again together. Great great stuff. I just recently discovered this artisan because of a chef knife challenge (or something like that, sorry I am old and forgetful). This hero makes it look so easy and fun but I gotta say that there is no way I could do this or even anything remotely close. You want a PCB built then I’m your man (or I was before retiring several years ago) I can even fabricate anything from wood but metal is WAY beyond anything a human being should be able to do. This is amazing and I wish good health, happiness and all the best to you and your family!
Thanks Wesley! I didn’t think I could do it until I tried. Now after only 3 years I’m making what you see, so it doesn’t take long. Thanks for watching!
@@TyrellKnifeworks Excellent work! I don't think this is a historical sword, though. I think it was created specifically for the film. I believe the Spartans, like the rest of the Hellenic world, used either a Xiphos or a Falcata as their backup blades.
It was fun to watch the first time, the second time, I saw new things that didn't really dawn on me until today. Like that jig for the wire wrapping. That's awesome! Great stuff! Cheers!
I wish I lived in a country where owning/making/procuring such a beauty was legal.... This is real art! It's my all time fav sword -the 300 movie Spartan sword.....and to see it in Damascus is pure joy👍
I live in India...born & raised. Currently the political environment over here is so volatile and unpredictable that even if it wasn't illegal it would make a person nervous to even order one. Coz I've been trying to order Honshu's Spartan sword since the past few years and everytime I would think about finalizing the deal it reminds me of how the government may misconstrue my intentions... It'd be hard to explain the separatist, superstitious, right wing conservative people, (kinda like our "brown necks"😂) in the government that I'm a die hard fan of movies and series like the walking dead, 300 & hence the sword, knives, guns fetish! If it were legal I would've ordered like a dozen of such masterpieces! Now I have to be content with a glock 17 airgun & a hunting knife🙄 Thank God that atleast airguns are allowed without a licence here!
@@TyrellKnifeworks I thought it was, given that the grinder is different, and you alluded to having done. Spartan sword, coincidentally, at the same time Airing did his. Keep it coming, mate 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻
Very cool! I would love it if you could make some damascus blades and weapons from history, that would be incredibly awesome! Like a khopesh or falx/romphaia!
I do historical weapons on occasion. Right now I'm working on the three Ka-bars but at some point I'll do some other types of historical swords. Thanks for watching, Josiah!
For my opinion I would have decided to do a Sang Mai style blade, but the damask blade and the sword in general also look very good and it's an absolutely great job - congratulations on that.
I totally agree! This is probably the most fun weapon to use that I’ve made. Sure the katana is nice and all, but this thing is a chopper and I wouldn’t want to be anywhere in front of it in battle. 😜. Thanks for watching, Logan.
Man, you are a Master, please do take care of your hands an body from radioactivity, we'll need to see more of this, for a long time! We need you alive!
Yeah, the transition from the lower bevel to the upper bevel required file work. Those two bevels are different angles so it was tough on the grinder. Thanks for watching, Elijah!
Very nice piece, and tons of hard work. I personally am not a fan of the makers mark in such a prominent location, and that large, but that's just me. I'd love to own one of your pieces one day. I've purchased a few pieces from several other smiths on TH-cam, and I love growing my collection. I'm hoping I can get a laminated wakizashi as my next piece. I absolutely loved your copper Damascus Katana from your previous build btw, copper makes everything better lol. Cheers!
Outstanding piece of work! Made me feel better about my handsanding excursions 😁. But a serious and seriously good looking blade. And beautifully rounded off by the Deadpool t-shirt in the testing section at the end!
@@TyrellKnifeworks I love your work, Stupid question, have you ever forged from raw iron ore, I haven’t watched all your videos yet, I love that process
@@blackietotheend no, I’ve never done any bloom or crucible steel. You need a coal furnace for the latter and the former is a massive project I’ve no interest in.
@@TyrellKnifeworks stick to what suits you, it’s just your work is so good, it would be some achievement to do it from scrap, I live in Ireland, not far from old Viking ruins , and they found swords, shields and the likes , Even after all this time in the ground , still look amazing, I wish I had your ability
@@blackietotheend you’ll hear this from a lot of smiths… the risk with reclaimed steel is that you really don’t know what it is do you don’t know how to heat treat it. If I’m selling something I want to stand behind it and know I produced the very best. If it was for a wall hanger or something just for me, sure, then it doesn’t matter. At sone point I’ll try a crucible steel build. 👍 Thanks for commenting and watching, I appreciate it.
I believe this knife would win any knife challenge! Like one word they got to cut the fish in the end! This is the beast of all beast. It will easily cut a slave from shoulder to hip, I guess depending on how big the slave is as well!
Beautiful. How did you finish off the wire wrap on the handle? Drill a hole in the wood and stick the end inside or something else? It’s a super clean wrap job. I’m digging it Edit: I saw how you secured the wire when you started the wrap, but didn’t see how you secured it once wrapped. Thanks 🙏🏽
Yes, it was ended the same way, you put the end into a hole drilled in the other end then you drive a toothpick with glue into the hole behind it. 👍. Thanks for watching
The kerosene burns off creating a fuel-rich / low oxygen environment which aids in prevention of scale. Scale prevents the surfaces from welding together. Thanks for watching
Very beautiful - you are an excellent craftsman, but I would also make a guard from Damascus, and I would choose not copper / bronze, but silver or something steel-colored for the handle ...
@@TyrellKnifeworks that's definitely a wall hanger lol, loved the wire handle wrapping machine you made btw! Using the ratchet wrench as the gear..... ingenious!
Excelente como siempre en todos los trabajos me gusta ver si por hay si puede hacer un video de como trabaja el martillo pilón y el horno saludos desde Paraguay
That's absolutely gorgeous! You have a press? In your garage? In a residential neighborhood? I thought they were way too loud. Thanks, now, I've got a new hobby, to add to the other five or ten. If my neighbors complain, I'm telling them to subscribe to your channel.
Actually the press isn’t THAT loud. Before that I built a power hammer… IT was LOUD! It shook the foundation kinda loud. The press just sounds about as loud as a compressor. 👍 Thanks for watching!
Love your work as always! Not to be an internet armchair expert but maybe if you did the fullers while the whole blade was flat, before the bevels, you could have clamped the whole blade down to your table or to a fixture plate to get it more rigid and avoid some chatter? I've been trying to design some kind of machinists jack but with a top clamp, for situations like this.
I already built a power hammer and sold it a week later. I have neighbors and it was WAY too loud. Then I built the press you see, which is much better for me.
News just in, a sword based on a film, that's based on a graphic novel, that's based around historic / mythic records of a bronze age battle is forged from steel and ISN'T historically accurate? Never?!?!?! Great job man, looks great especially as a recreation from the film 😀

Also it's a nice job of "PASTERN WELDING"
